Stonefish -

See if you can't cut an angled head backwards and get that baby diving. Kinda like a Dahlberg diver. I bet if you got the angle correct, it would dive down a few inches and pop right back up like a boss.

Nick,
I like that idea. I've got a few other ideas in mind that I need to crank out.

Another tier on another forum I frequent cuts his tubes at an angle the adds a round sequin to the front of the fly. When stripped in it give the pattern a diving and erratic action. I plan to play around a bit with that as well.

I played around a bit more today with the round Rainy's foam. I like the look better with both ends of the foam tied down.
This one came out at 3" in length.

Looking good Brian! It has been fun watching the FSB evolution. Seems like you are onto something with the round foam there. I like the look and it seems the action is how you want it?

This long winter has really given me a case of the blues lately.

I saw this on another board so I thought I'd give it a try.
I didn't have the type of tails or color I wanted but I still think a coho would eat it.
I connected the tail by wrapping thread around Senyo wire. I then burned a hole in the tail and super glued it onto the wire. The wire is rigid enough to keep the tail in place.

That sure is a purdy fish BU. Nice bling! Not sure if there are any die hard ascotiers on this board. Pretty sure most of us fish gear rods and mix it up with the bug rods. I snuck up on Friday and swung some of the runs on the Sol duc. No players, but it was nice to get a line wet. Are you gonna give us a peek at some of your tarpon bugs?

Just the right amount of glue this time captain.
I did manage to get some UV cure in my mouth. Lovely tasting stuff.
Note to self, cure it before messing with the feathers or fur. grin

Houndstooth for Vedder would be most apropos....

Stonefish - did you ever tie up a diving popper with a cut / angled face?

Nick,
Not yet. Been tying a bunch of trout bugs for bobber watch. Fishing was excellent this weekend with some major chironomid hatches coming off
I'll probably wait till summer coho are around to do the diving popper.
Been think about a possible foam body cut plug fished on a full sinker idea as well for this summer.

Don't go posting up pics of tarpons caught on bait and lures...this isn't a fishing thread, it's an Ascot Thread wink

Fish on...
